Blogging From The Trenches
Soldiers who served during the First World War frequently wrote letters home, and it is through these documents that we can understand the true situation which they were in. The letters of one soldier, Private Harry Lamin, are being published as a blog, exactly 90 years after they were written, and are published entirely faithfully to the original, including spelling and grammar, and are also put in context by some historical explanations.
All in all, a very interesting blog and a very good idea to do, reproducing a snapshot of the past online. Read it here.
